If someone singles out a particular race or nationality, it's considered a "hate crime". These 2 Israelis were minding their own business, working, and were attacked for what appears to be because of their nationality. Where's the outrage that it appears that perhaps a Muslim committed this act? Your comment shows your lack of understanding of the Israeli conflict and your bias. I suppose next you'll be saying that the 1972 Munich Olympic slayings were Israel's fault, too.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Israel demanded international monitors as a term of any truce with Gaza militants, as its warplanes bombed the parliament building in Gaza City Thursday and its ships attacked coastline positions of the territory's Islamic Hamas rulers.
An international agreement to set up such a force would give Israel a way to end its devastating, six-day offensive against Hamas, even as thousands of Israeli ground troops massed along the border in anticipation of a possible land invasion. So far, the campaign to crush rocket fire on southern Israel has been conducted largely from the air, and a poll on Thursday showed most Israelis aren't eager to see a ground push.
Now that is ONE demand that we should meet.
Have UN troops lining a 50 km buffer zone (apparently the home made rockets are reaching 48 km now). Push the Israeli's BACK 50 km away from the borders and deploy the UN troops on THEIR homes, roads, schools, and offices.A No fly zone over the buffer zone, so no Israeli aircraft can cross it.
Let's put that to Tzipi and her supporters Posts: 3416 | Registered: Oct 2007

Not the same. The woman and child knew Israel and Gaza were exchanging bombs with each other whereas the 2 in the mall had no idea some lunatic with a gun was going to come into a crowded mall and shoot.
I spoke to two Israeli women, a doctor and her mother, at a dinner show in Turkey once who had been sitting at our table back in 1992. We asked them about living in Israel when every day we were hearing about bombs being dropped on them by the Palestians. They said they carry on with their normal activities but they have no idea if that day will be there last. They have no other choice but to try to live a normal routine because becoming a hostage in your home isn't a guarantee you won't be killed either. I'm sure that's what the woman and child on a donkey you refer to thought as well.
